These are the men called from the community; they are leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of Israel’s clans.”

All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron, and the whole community told them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

There is to be a single standard for your community, one statute for you and the resident alien who lives with you, a long lasting statute throughout your generations. Just as you do, so is the resident alien to do in the presence of the LORD.

and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

The priest must then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, one made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

The entire Israelite community and the foreigner who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

“Tell the community: Get away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

He warned the community, “Get away now from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”

They and all that they had went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them. So they perished from among the community.

The next day the entire Israelite community complained about Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord’s people!”
